BEDA 13: No soccer game, House MD and TV is bleh

Hello everyone

The long weekend is over, I am sad. When is the next one? Can't wait. ;) I drove four hours to get back to Ottawa today. I don't mind the long drive, most people might find it long but I like driving.

No soccer game today as it is easter monday. I am a little sad but at the same time I am happy that I got to watch House MD. I always miss it since they decided to put the show on mondays, why? *sniff*

I don't know if it is just me but TV has gotten bleh wouldn't you agree? My TV has pretty much been off for at least a year now, aside from the times I play some Wii or the occasional simpsons or family guy episode and House MD of course whenever there is no soccer that monday.

I used to watch a lot of TV growing up, when I say a lot I mean an insane amount. I watched all the sitcoms, on NBC, ABC, CBS. Blossom, Full House, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Family Matters, etc.

Do you remember the TGIF line-up? Every friday it was like a religiously experience for me I swear. I never missed a single TGIF. I taped the shows as well and watched over and over and over again.

That is how I actually learned english as a second language. Who said TV is not good and you cannot learn anything from it. lol

Unfortunately now, ever since seinfeld and friends wave their goodbyes, TV for me has not been the same. I have yet to find a sitcom or drama that I MUST sit and watch religiously. Aside from House MD of course, it would be a lot easier if they switched days. Grrrr.

I used to love Gimore Girls and watch that and not want to be interrupted. A lot of people thought I was nuts for liking this saying that the fact that they spoke so fast was annoying. That is actually what I loved the most about the show. I know I am odd.

Another show I loved was smallville, I know it still is playing, but they switched channels and timeslots so much on me that I have no idea when it plays anymore and missed so many episode that at some point I will need to buy the dvds and start to watch the serie all over again.

Don't you just hate it when you love a certain show and the network decide to switch the time and day on you?

I also loved the charmed serie and followed that without missing an episode, but yet again they switched day and time on me so much that I got confused and never knew when it was playing resulting in missing a lot of episodes.

I loved this monday's House though. House thinking that one of his old team member wanted back on the team when she canceled plans with her boyfriend - the cutest one on this show btw with the british accent - because she found a ring and knew he was thinking of proposing but she did not want him to propose as a result of what happened last time, the guy on the team who committed suicide. And House thinking she was falling for him.

I loved the case with the greenpeace activist who tried to get up and couldn't walk, turns out the cause was him buying flowers for his wife and the pesticides made him sick... good news for him since now it gave him even more reason to protest and bad news for his wife, she wanted him to be there for their son more.

What TV shows are you addicted to or have to watch on a daily basis?

Do you find TV has indeed gotten Bleh lately?

Did you use to watch the 80s sitcoms, and if so which were your favourite? I would love to now.

Remember the TGIF line-up?

Allright that is about it for this thirteenth day of BEDA.

See you tomorrow.
